Delightful and accommodating hosts and a cozy stay at this cottage a short drive outside Lambertsbay.

Kookfontein makes a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc.

Reasonable.

I have not rated it very well because there were things we were not happy about. There was no television and the internet did not work. Flyscreens are necessary on the windows because there were so many insects everywhere. I suggest fans get supplied, preferably ceiling fans. When we arrived there was a dirty plate in the sink and lots of thorns on the floor and carpets. Security is rated rather low because the gate to the property is not even closed at night and the cottage is on a very busy road.

Vriendelike mense wat enige tyd beskikbaar is as daar 'n probleem sou wees.

Lekker om weg te kom en die stilte te geniet, baie beter as om in die dorp self te bly.

Friendly people who are available anytime should there be a problem.

Nice to get away and enjoy the quiet, much better than staying in the town itself.

Pragtige uitsig, ruim vertrekke, netjies, skoon, mooi!

Dekor kombinasie van oud en nuut by Kookfontein Farm Cottages is baie stylvol en maak dat mens sommer dadelik tuis voel! Pragtige uitsig oor wingerde, ruim vertrekke, vriendelike en behulpsame ontvangs en geskenk bottel wyn, alles bydraende faktore dat ons Kookfontein beslis sal aanbeveel en dat dit inderdaad waarde vir geld is!

Beautiful view, spacious rooms, neat, clean, beautiful!

Decor combination of old and new at Kookfontein Farm Cottages is very stylish and makes you feel right at home! Beautiful view over vineyards, spacious rooms, friendly and helpful reception and gift bottle of wine, all contributing factors that we will definitely recommend Kookfontein and that it is indeed value for money!

Country living at its best and cosy atmosphere.

Excellent and comfortable country cottage with all amenities, including splash pool, ready to light fire place and a welcome bottle of farm produced Sauvignon blanc.

Het ook kennis geneem van die een of twee ongegronde negatiewe resensies en sal dit totaal ignoreer as voornemende besoeker.

Lieflike plek om te kan ontspan. Naby genoeg aan die dorp, maar ver genoeg om die wynplaasgevoel te kan ervaar.

Dit was fantasties, ruim, met 'n vintage plaasopstal-gevoel.

Lovely place to relax. Close enough to town, but far enough to experience the wine farm feel.

It was fantastic, spacious, with a vintage farmhouse feel.

Vir een nag voldoende.

Ons het net een nag gebly, want ons was daar vir 'n troue. Die elektriese hek het die heeltyd wat ons daar was, ook deur die nag, oopgestaan (dit het voorgekom asof dit gebreek was). Alhoewel daar niks van ons gesteel is of ons enige moeilikheid gehad nie, voel ek tog die hek is daar vir 'n rede, dus het ek nie veilig gevoel die nag nie. Kothuis A en B is vas aanmekaar, dus kan jy als hoor wat in die kamer langs jou aangaan. Ons het letterlik net daar geslaap, so dit was nie 'n probleem nie, maar ek sou nie baie daarvan gehou het as ons die verblyf vir 'n naweek gereël het nie. Die kothuis self is baie lekker ingerig en netjies, naby aan die dorp en baie naby aan die trou-venue (Bosduifklip) waar ons moes wees. Vir ons doeleindes was dit perfek!

Sufficient for one night.

We only stayed one night because we were there for a wedding. The electric gate was open the whole time we were there, including through the night (it appeared as if it was broken). Although nothing was stolen from us or we had any trouble, I still feel that the gate is there for a reason, so I did not feel safe that night. Cottage A and B are close together, so you can hear everything that goes on in the room next to you. We literally just slept there, so it wasn't a problem, but I wouldn't have liked it much if we had arranged the stay for a weekend. The cottage itself is very nicely furnished and tidy, close to the town and very close to the wedding venue (Bosduifklip) where we had to be. For our purposes it was perfect!

Unexpected piece of paradise and a reminder of the simplicity needed in life.

We had everything we needed yet lived simply. A wonderful reminder of being grateful for what nature provides - they were amidst a drought when we stayed but the beauty never faded. Elizna was very helpful and made really good suggestions. We will definitely be back!

Teleurstellend.

Foto van plek is misleidend, ons het gedink ons gaan lekker op die stoep sit en na die pragtige dam voor ons uitstaar. Geen water, plek baie naby die pad so hoor deur die nag trokke wat verby jaag. Wanneer die bure vuurmaak is jou cottage vol rook. Geen dakwaaiers in kamer, geen venster wat jy kan oopmaak vir vars lug, slegs die deur. Geen radio in kamer of TV. Prys te hoog vir dit wat jy kry.

Disappointing.

Picture misleading. We thought we'd be sitting on the veranda overlooking the dam in front of us. No water, close to the road so you hear trucks rushing past at night. When the neighbours make a fire our cottage is full of smoke. No ceiling fans in the room, no window to open for fresh air, only the door. No radio or TV. Too expensive for what you get.

Awesome place and hospitality.

Living in the vineyards, great host and impeccable place/cleanliness; Theunette (our host) has a great taste on interiors and has a lovely dog and place. Will definitely recommend for visitors passing Lamberts Bay.

Rustige natuur.

Kookfontein Farm Cottages is die perfekte plek om weg te kom van alles. Geen TV en geen selfoonsein. Die eienaars is ongelooflik gasvry en laat mens onmiddelik welkom voel. Dink privaatheid sal net ietwat van probleem wees as al 3 eenhede bespreek is. Geen muur of afskeiding tussen eenhede se stoepe nie.

Tranquil nature.

Kookfontein Farm Cottages is the perfect place to get away from it all. No TV and no cell phone signal. The owners are incredibly hospitable and make you feel welcome immediately. Think privacy will only be somewhat of an issue if all 3 units are booked. No wall or partition between units' porches.

'n Pragtige wooneenheid met sitkamer, kombuis, slaapkamer en badkamer.

Ons het gevoel ons sal sommer vir 'n week in hierdie heerlike verblyf kon bly. Ons het Theunnette se omgee en waardevolle raad oor die omgewing baie waardeer.
